Deep Dive · Stage 03 · Inbound Acceptance

The 4-Step QC Acceptance Workflow.

When goods arrive at a BRAVA hub, every shipment runs through this four-step protocol — so quality is verified before the product ever moves toward you. Click any step to expand the inspection checklist.

  • Packing list — grade, spec, quantity match MTC
  • Mill Test Certificate — chemistry & mechanicals match standard
  • Supplementary reports — raw-material MTC, IGC, hardness, dimensional
  • Hold rule — any packing-list mismatch halts acceptance
  • Outer packaging — plywood case or woven sleeve integrity
  • Shipping marks — must match packing list exactly
  • Moisture & bend check — any damage halts acceptance
  • End caps — both ends capped & sealed
  • Total package count matches packing list
  • Per-bundle count matches packing list
  • Photo documentation for any discrepancy
  • Escalation — immediate report to procurement
  • Surface — scratches, pits, scale, discoloration (≥10% sample)
  • Inner wall — borescope check for draw marks & scale
  • Straightness & ends — bend check & deburred ends
  • Marking & dimensions — OD/WT/length verified by gauge

If a defect is found: the affected lot is photographed, escalated to procurement, and returned to the supplier for replacement — not silently rejected. We treat every shipment as our reputation, not as a transaction.
